Starscape is a single mission in Star Trek Fleet Command that puts you on the trail of Captain Fitzsimons, a Starfleet captain who has turned on his own side, and his ship, the USS Cutlass. It is available from warp 1 but needs warp 39 to finish, with stops in Ursva, Gorath and Yridia. The mission ends with a 200K Dilithium payment for information, and it pays out in refined Kristall. It is a short investigation step that keeps the Fitzsimons story moving.
Starscape objectives
Es gibt vier Ziele und keine Verzweigung:
- Investigate the last known location of Captain Fitzsimons. Location: Ursva.
- Attempt to triangulate the USS Cutlass’s position. Location: Gorath.
- Visit the Yridian information market for information on the USS Cutlass. Location: Yridia.
- Pay the Yridian 200K Dilithium for the data on Fitzsimons.
Each of the first three objectives is in a different system, so this mission is mostly travel. You start at Ursva, where Fitzsimons was last seen, move to Gorath to try to pin down the Cutlass, and then visit the Yridian information market for more on the ship. The last step is a Dilithium payment to the Yridian, and it clears the mission.
No hostile is listed, so there is no scripted fight in Starscape.
Wo und welcher Warp
The mission is available at warp 1 and does not name a pickup system. Completing it takes warp 39, since Ursva, Gorath and Yridia all need to be in range. If any of the three is out of reach, the mission waits in your log until your ship can get there.
The game lists a recommended level of 1. The warp 39 finish and the 200K Dilithium cost are the real gates, so check both before you set out.
Starscape rewards
| Belohnung | Amount |
|---|---|
| 3★ Seltene Veredelter Kristall | 6 |
| 3★ Ungewöhnlich Veredelter Kristall | 50 |
Completing Starscape unlocks the next mission in the chain, Ein illusorischer Mann.
Refined crystal is slow to build up by refining at this stage, so fifty 3★ Uncommon and six 3★ Rare is a useful drop for research and building costs that ask for it. The six Rare pieces are the harder ones to replace.
Where Starscape sits in the story
Starscape comes straight after Schatten-Arena and hands off to An Illusive Man. The mission’s own story line frames it as a hunt for the treacherous Captain Fitzsimons, with a note that you first have to find him. That is exactly what the four objectives do: none of them catch Fitzsimons, they only gather the trail.
Starscape is best run as soon as it unlocks so the chain keeps moving. The crystal reward is a bonus for doing groundwork you need anyway.
Tips
Have the Dilithium ready. The 200K payment is the final objective, and it is the only thing between you and the rewards once you reach Yridia. Arriving with less than 200K means a wasted trip or a wait.
Use a ship you can spare. With no fight in the mission, a survey or mining ship with enough warp range is fine for the travel steps. Keep your combat ship free for hostiles and for the next part of the chain.
Plot the route in objective order. Ursva, Gorath and Yridia each hold one step, and the objectives come in that order.
